Linux Automation Engineer
Summary
Designs and automates Linux-based virtualized infrastructure for critical Motorola Solutions products using IaC and scripting (Bash, Python, Ansible).
We are seeking engineers to join our ASTRO Virtual Platform Team. To be clear: this is not a day-to-day IT support or traditional sysadmin role. Instead of manual configuration or repetitive patching, your focus will be on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation. You will help design, implement, and automate the Linux based virtualized platform that powers MSI’s most critical technology products at scale.
- Linux Expertise: 2+ years of hands-on experience with Linux operating systems (ideally RedHat) and virtualization technologies.
- An Automation Mindset: Strong scripting skills with Bash, Python, or Ansible. If you understand core automation/programming concepts, we will help you master our specific tech stack!
- Core Systems Knowledge: A solid grasp of Linux pillars, including systemd services, logging configuration, and access controls.
- The Geek Factor: A strong analytical mindset, deep technical curiosity, and the ability to communicate effectively in English.
Bonus Points If You Bring:
- Networking/Security Foundation: An understanding of TCP/IP networking and TLS/PKI concepts.
- Modern Workflows Experience: Familiarity with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and Agile processes. (Don't worry if you aren't an expert yet—these are core to our workflow, and you'll get plenty of hands-on experience learning them here).
- Cross-Platform Flexibility: Some familiarity with PowerShell (or a willingness to learn it!). Since our computing platform integrates both Linux and Windows ecosystems, being able to speak a little "Windows" is an advantage.
- Professional Certifications: RHCSA, RHCE, or CCNA.
